90 of my library plays fine on my tv through Plex app.

Like does the AppleTV do some of the processing now, hence, files may play better now Just trying to understand if it’s worth getting the Apple TV. I don’t expect there’s anything I can do to fix this, I just thought it was curious. By using Plex on a PC or Mac, PlexConnect masks itself as the Trailer app and sends a list of your movies, music files, video clips and photos to the Apple TV. Could you explain how using an AppleTv for Plex is going to be different than using Plex directly on my tv (install the app on my Samsung tv). But then I decided to test playing it using the Plex app on my LG B6 TV and playback was perfectly smooth - so it’s not a problem with the file after all, it’s a problem with my Apple TV playing it.

I went back and rewatched some of my other 4K files to check and they’re all playing back fine, so I assumed it was a problem with this video file. This isn’t even the largest or highest quality 4K file I have, but I’ve never noticed any playback issues with my Apple TV before. I recently added a new 4K movie to my Plex library and noticed it’s video playback was incredibly choppy when I played it using the Plex app on my Apple TV 4K, to the point where some parts of the video were almost like watching a Live Photo instead of a movie - particularly scenes with wide shots featuring characters in the foreground and a moving landscape in the background.
